also I this is the debra that I think you can also reach me from your face book friend list

James thank you for that but I sometimes make mistakes

yes I reload for my pistols and reload 4 gauges of shotguns it is a lot less expensive. Due to liability issues I will never reload for someone else. Reloading is another hobby it something nice to do when the weather is bad or like now when I am recovering from a knee replacement. there are companies that reload for retail sales but you can get as good a price on new ammo like this armscor 38 special round They are made in Nevada They are a good round from a good company budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/713087754/armscor+ammo+38+spc+158gr

Debra, both Randy and I reload. He is one of the folks on here that I trust 100% on answers. Reloading is tedious but not difficult. Buying all the components, bullets, primers, casings and powder, you can expect to load ammunition for roughly a 1/3 to 1/2 of retail prices if you catch bulk sales for all components. Good to know that you are methodical in your approach and I have no doubt that you will fare just fine. Cheers!
